NO 3 PART THREE: Work Experience & Education Details of current post: Current Role Title: ACP CENTRAL (Ag.)
Start Date: Organization: TTPS Finish Date: SEPTEMBER 01, 2017 ACTIVE IN POSITION Brief description of role and responsibilities, including key achievements: ACP CENTRAL Assistant Commissioner of Police, with executive responsibilities, strategic, operational and tactical, for two major police divisions, Central and North Eastern, and for over 600 officers.
Early identification of emerging trends and threats, highlighting precursors and warning signs, turning information into intelligence and using intelligence systems to decipher threat levels; recognising quickly, diagnosing accurately, and responding appropriately; analysing data and presenting crime statistics and strategies within the CompStat framework; enforcing the law and preserving peace through the detection of crime and apprehension of perpetrators; formulating, implementing, and monitoring sustainable crime prevention and violence reduction plans, programmes and projects; data-driven, quality assurance policing; designing, developing, and implementing enforcement and non- enforcement community-based initiatives to prevent and reduce crime and criminality in high-needs and underserved communities with the criminogenic conditions that contribute to high levels of crime and criminal activity; emergency operations, crisis management and crisis communications; advising on strategies, policy implementation, knowledge-based capacity development, institutional strengthening and high-level decision- making are all critical aspects of my role and responsibilities; combined with the professional development and training of officers to enhance organisational effectiveness and efficiency.
Additionally, crime fighting strategies focused on strong community relations, targeted enforcement and forging partnerships with community-based, faith-based and non-governmental organisations are crucial aspects of my role; community cohesion, collective efficacy, and community solidarity are strongly correlated with reduced levels of crime and violence; crime must be understood within a broader range of insecurities because the community and the police are co-producers in keeping a crime rate down.
Social capital building and social interaction to generate and maintain shared trust and confidence in the police; actively engaging community members, young people, in particular, through police youth clubs, station council and town hall meetings and public consultations are unique responsibilities which I take seriously because there is need for deeper social networks that support a community's ability to respond to crime in real time.
Using the study of Victimology and other criminological theories such as Situational Crime Prevention, Routine Activity Theory, Lifestyle Theory, Crime Pattern Theory, Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED) and others to empower community members by educating them on the risk factors that make some citizens easy targets is yet another responsibility.
Executing, through media engagements, public awareness and public education initiatives that focus on social control and social regulation are also important aspects of the job because they tap into the internal motivation of citizens to obey the law; they also offer a buffer zone to social disorganisation and provide much needed community feedback which is used to critically evaluate and improve operational and tactical strategies.
Although I have only held this position for a few weeks, I've already built consensus and enhanced the divisions' internal administrative function as well as implemented targeted enforcement and operational strategies to improve the crime fighting capabilities of officers in Central and North Eastern.
I have also implemented a unified crime reduction strategy, built on inter-agency collaboration and cross-wiring, in one of the most volatile communities, in Trinidad and Tobago, with the strategic deployment of resources to implement the plan.
I have also introduced community patrols as part of the strategy because high visibility community policing is essential to building and maintaining community trust which is essential to reducing animosity by bridging the divide between the police and the community, solving homicides, restoring police legitimacy and public confidence in the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service.

Organization: TTPS Start Date: NOVEMBER 2, 2016 Finish Date: AUGUST 31, 2017 Brief description of role and responsibilities, including key achievements: ACP HOMICIDE Assistant Commissioner of Police with the command responsibility for the operation of the Homicide Department and management of over 300 officers.
All aspects of the homicide investigation; a range of legal responsibilities including liaising with the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP); the scientific management of the department; ensuring officers uphold the scientific integrity of the investigative process; quality assurance; quality control; commitment to scientific methodology; adhering to a continuum of competence in performing specific and crucial tasks critical to the homicide investigation; dealing with multiple human relationships including a victim-centred approach to investigations; these were some of my core responsibilities.
Additional responsibilities included; exploring murder trends and patterns; analysing data and presenting crime statistics and strategies within the CompStat framework; data mining to identify patterns, trends and anomalies; predictive policing; statistical forecasting for advanced analysis; geographical analysis; geographical mapping; managing the department with a focus on homicide rates, response times, clearance rates, enforcement productivity, integrity in the reporting systems, use of force incidents, officer morale, and community satisfaction; along with the development, implementation and support of multi-disciplinary and data-driven prevention, intervention, and enforcement initiatives; facilitation of inter-agency communication and information-sharing; the implementation and evaluation of various violence reduction strategies and programmes; and participating in media relations initiatives to raise awareness on public safety.
Responsible for the overall direction and leadership of the department, I set the strategic direction of the Homicide department; executing policy directives; communicating inter-agency and department operations and initiatives; reviewing department operations; renewing and recasting tactical operations to provide greater police and community interaction and collaboration; and balancing the needs of diverse constituencies.
Other more technical aspects of my responsibilities as the lead homicide investigator included bringing international good practices to the investigative process; best practice interviewing skills and statement analysis; criminal profiling; suspect prioritisation; preservation and protection of the crime scene; crime scene analysis; establishing and maintaining a robust "chain of custody"; and crime scene reconstruction.
Key achievements: developed a stronger professional ethic in officers; ensured a professionally developed and trained investigative workforce; increased the knowledge, skills and abilities of investigative officers; improved the investigative technique, investigative response and investigative procedures; improved the working relationship with medical professionals and prosecutors; and enhanced the case management system.

I also lead several high-profile homicide investigations.
My greatest achievement would be the mentorship of so many officers and the advice I gave officers, and continue to give officers, on the pitfalls in homicide investigations; don't ever assume that the case is not provable; overlooking evidence could destroy your case; never alter the crime scene; ensure there's adequate photographic documentation; ensure there's adequate attention to detail; ensure your documentation is pristine; and of course, the cardinal sins of the homicide investigator; failure to follow up leads on a timely basis; failure to verify information received from other sources; talking too much and too soon to the wrong people; cutting corners; jumping to conclusions and believing that length of service ensures competence.
6 Details of previous three posts — most recent first Previous Role Title: ACP Professional Standards Bureau (Ag.)

Start Date: Organization: TTPS Finish Date: DECEMBER 23, 2014 NOVEMBER 1, 2016 Brief description of role and responsibilities, including key achievements: ACP PSB Assistant Commissioner of Police with command responsibility of the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) and management of 200 officers.
Responsible for all internal investigations, complaints and prosecution of officers; investigated complaints filed against officers by citizens or other officers; interviewed complainants to identify officers being accused and obtained facts concerning complaints; interviewed accused officers to obtain responses to accusations; prepared charges and responses to charges; conducted investigation to establish facts supporting complainant or accused using supportive information from witnesses or tangible evidence; and liaised with oversight bodies such as the Police Complaints Authority (PCA) and of course the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).
While performing my duties, as the lead officer responsible for integrity management of the police service, I subscribed strongly to the five (5) principles of independent investigations: (1) independence; (2) adequacy; (3) promptness; (4) public scrutiny; and (5) victim involvement.
Within that context and while working with external oversight agencies, I promoted the value of collaborative partnerships between oversight agencies and the police service; highlighting civil society's role in matters related to law enforcement and criminal justice; supporting citizen awareness and the desire for responsiveness, accountability, transparency and overall efficiency from the police during an investigation.
During my tenure, a bold, clear and direct message was delivered to the national community that the police service is serious about reducing lawlessness in law enforcement.

Investigating officer- involved shootings and use-of-force incidents were also high on my agenda because they contributed significantly to the public perception of endemic police misconduct and a lack of public confidence and public trust in the police service.
Key achievements would include zero tolerance on police corruption and police misconduct as well as police officers being called to account for their actions.

During my tenure, the highest number of officers were arrested for misconduct in public office and attempting to pervert the course of justice.
I set new and high standards of accountability and transparency in policing and investigative competency and created a heightened culture of openness and oversight; employing a 21st Century policing mindset of accountability, ethics, transparency and trust.
Under my leadership, and given my reputation for professionalism, ethical conduct was optimised; serious forms of police misconduct deterred; public confidence in police accountability and police integrity increased; complainant alienation reduced with confidence that there would be no retaliation and the overall professionalism of the organisation was enhanced.
I also made recommendations for improvements in police conduct through changes to procedures, training and supervision and for a scientific approach to recruitment, remediation, and proactive investigations.

Effective policing requires a highly focused collaborative approach to ensure accountability and professional standards; to reduce the deficiencies in internal complaint investigations.

TRAFFIC AND HIGHWAY PATROL Senior Superintendent with command responsibility of Traffic and Highway Patrol and 350 officers.
Traffic management, highway and road policing, major roadway incident and response, police traffic signage, fatal and serious accident data collection and reporting, management of police motor cyclists section, and supporting all road safety public awareness and pubic education initiatives; these were some of my core responsibilities.
Additionally, representing the police service on the National Transportation Board and the National Safety Council were critical aspects of my role with a focus on national policy development and capacity building.

During my tenure, I focused significantly on institutional strengthening of the police service to support improvements in our approaches to road safety management and the requisite interventions.
To achieve the strategic goal of improving road safety, I implemented a whole of agency collective approach that increased highway patrols, increased officer visibility; increased policing on the roadways, trained more breathalyser technicians; increased inter-agency collaboration and support; improved GPS monitoring of patrol deployment and enhanced the collision database for identifying collision hotspots, patterns and trends.
I also allocated significant effort to developing and implementing the goals, objectives and targets of the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TIPS) Strategic Plan on National Road Casualty Reduction, National Road Policy and Road Safety.
Key achievements would include; increasing the TTPS's road policing capacity; increasing and improving data collection and analysis; enhancing inter-agency collaboration; raising national awareness through public education and public consultation; improving overall safety on the roads; making significant strides in road casualty reduction efforts; delivering a 20% reduction in road deaths and road fatalities between 2012 and 2014 which also registered the first ever reduction below 200 fatalities.

Applicant's Response: LEADERSHIP SKILLS As an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), I have great leadership experience and expertise, at the executive level of the TIPS, and at the command level.

As part of the executive management of the police service I play a critical role in strategic decision making.

For years, I have had to articulate the vision of the organisation and persuade hundreds of officers to embrace that vision and bring it to life.
Within minutes, I must move from strategic to tactical which requires a high level of intellectual agility and a strong capacity for systems thinking.

Through participation in law enforcement leadership training, I've learned to neutralise cognitive bias and other traps that undermine sound decision making.

My approach has always been more of a corporate style (I'm also a certified accountant and forensic fraud examiner) where there's a devolution of responsibility.
Through discernment and delegation with the requisite due diligence, I empower my officers to lead from the front because every police officer is a leader in myriad forms and contexts.

Although discretion expands and contracts depending on the situation, officers possess the ability to wield more discretion in situations, daily, than any other justice professional.

Through the exercise of discretion, an officer decides who to stop and cite for a traffic violation, who to investigate, and who to arrest.
Even rookie patrol officers exercise a form of leadership in the handling of matters as routine as a traffic accident.

As a professional charged with the enforcement of the law and maintenance of public order, I exercise enlightened moral judgment and high ethical standards, especially as judgment and ethics relate to discretionary decision making, use-of-force, constitutional due process, and equal protection.

In policing, leadership is not always about personality.

It is about practice.


I lead by example.

From the implementation of the TTPS's strategic plan and translating established objectives into specific work programmes to resource allocation for crime reduction and applying emotional intelligence to the change management process to treat with resistance from officers; high-level decision making is what I do every day.
Goal-setting, problem identification, implementing change plans, evaluating change efforts, influencing and mobilising officers and resources to secure a desired outcome; these are all key components of my job as an ACP.

Daily, I encourage, empower, inspire motivate and mentor hundreds of officers to policing greatness.
I'm committed to keeping officer morale high because our officers need all the encouragement they can get given the high homicide rate and efforts to build public confidence and public trust in policing.

Throughout my career, I've always been willing to make the difficult leadership decisions.
My tenure as ACP of the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) is a sterling record of my demonstrated participatory leadership style which has always been adaptable, flexible, innovative and effective with the ability to evolve and change to meet new challenges, constraints and opportunities.

Ethical leadership is the legacy of my tenure as ACP of PSB.

I improved the quality of law enforcement service and reduced police corruption and misconduct.
Working with partners and stakeholders, for over two decades, I've practiced a values-led ethical leadership style maximises my efforts.

My track record is testament.

10 People Skills Please provide details on experience you have in managing the performance of direct reports and a large workforce with specific reference to your approach to people management, working and communicating with others and serving members of the public.
Applicant's Response: PEOPLE SKILLS As an executive member of the TIPS, an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), I am quite experienced managing direct reports and a large workforce.

In my current position, as ACP of Central with responsibility for Central and North Eastern, I'm managing about 600.

As ACP of Homicide I managed over 300; as ACP of the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) I managed over 200; and as Senior Superintendent in charge of Traffic and Highway Patrol I managed over 350.
Over the years, from constable to an assistant commissioner, people management has been a critical aspect of what I do, daily.

Identifying and developing internal talent with the potential to fill key leadership positions, succession planning, is intrinsic to my leadership style.

People management is also about increasing the availability of experienced and capable officers to assume leadership roles.

My participatory style encourages feedback which is used for team-building.

I empower officers.
I empower officers.

I encourage them to think critically and creatively and feel confident enough to share their ideas openly.

I appreciate diversity.

I believe care and compassion, cultural awareness and cultural sensitivity are pre-requisites for an effective and professional communication style which I practice.
I take a personal interest in my officers and this is quite evident in the fact that I have personally educated many of them in financial literacy and personal money management which go a long way in saving the TIPS money, from public procurement to police corruption.

Police leaders must satisfy diverse constituencies.

The essence of good police work is dealing with people; interacting with the public.
Effective policing depends on an officer's ability to communicate effectively with citizens, victims, suspects and fellow officers.

Officers must have a superior understanding of verbal and non -verbal communication; how verbal messages are influenced by non -verbal behaviours; the ability to decode these messages and to use them as cues and clues.
I've participated in communication skills, media relations, crisis communication, social media crisis communication and emotional intelligence training which have heightened my communication skills and enhanced my communication style.

I always impress upon officers the importance of not only learning appropriate communication behaviours but knowing how to match those behaviours to the demands of situations and how to communicate effectively under conditions of extraordinary pressure and stress.
The acquisition of professional communication skills is a pre-requisite in equipping officers to meet the demands of the job.

An officer must be skilled in making his or her intentions known to an individual, whether that individual is hearing or visually impaired, doesn't speak English, enraged, under the influence of alcohol and other substances or unfamiliar with police procedure.
As a homicide investigator, I really sharpened by people skills which are pivotal to building a strong foundation of trust, cooperation and information-sharing; these contribute to a successful homicide investigation.

I invested time and effort to build trust in communities, to reduce the high levels of reticence and encourage citizens to come forward as witnesses.

I also used my people skills to bring a victim-centred approach to the homicide investigation.
Public engagement is important to police work; from TV appearances as part of the public awareness and public education mandate of the TIPS to community caravans, town halls and a variety of public consultations.

"The police are the public and the public are the police," that's one of the fundamentals of policing established by Sir Robert Peel since 1829.
Through community engagement we secure public approval of what we do; through our actions and behaviours which are our "people skills" we secure and maintain public confidence, public trust and public respect.

11 Technical Skills Please provide details in which you have demonstrated and applied knowledge of modern policing principles and operational management with specific reference to methodologies employed and outcomes.

Applicant's Response: TECHNICAL SKILLS I'm a skilled law enforcement practitioner.
My technical skills are the foundation upon which I build my leadership skills.

I bring a systematic, proactive and almost precognitive approach to ensuring public safety and security.

The structure of all my strategies have been designed using scientific methodology; empirical evidence; my approaches and interventions are data-driven and evidence-based.

I incorporate research, analysis and a collection of performance measures into operational planning.
I embrace and apply measurement and evidence based methodologies.

I try my earnest to build theories and provide advice based on rigorous analysis of the available data; bringing a knowledge-to-practice approach to policing.

I use crime data and police reports to study crime problems, characteristics of crime scenes, offenders and victims.

I also analyse crime patterns in terms of socio-demographic, temporal and spatial factors.

My enforcement efforts are intelligence-led.


Committed to proactive, targeted, solution-oriented policing; my tactical approach highlights a supportive and informed command structure; integrated crime and criminal analysis; a focus on prolific and serious offenders; data that are sufficiently complete, reliable and available to support quality products that influence decision-making; management structures that exist to action intelligence and appropriate use of prevention, disruption and enforcement.
I utilise a systematic process of collecting, categorising, analysing, and disseminating timely, accurate, and useful information that describes crime patterns, crime trends, and potential suspects.

I practice predictive (but proactive) policing: CompStat; data mining; to identify trends, patterns and anomalies; statistical forecasting for advance analysis; information based geographic analysis and geocoded crime data; geographical mapping and using advance analysis to create actionable knowledge.
Methodologies employed will include but are not limited to: analysing crime patterns through crime mapping techniques; assessing flaws in environments that are common to high crime areas; creating physical environments that encourage informal social control; deconstructing crime patterns through the application of the environmental design perspective; designing criminal intelligence models; implementing crime prevention strategies using environmental design and other methodologies; manipulating environments to achieve crime prevention objectives; maximising crime prevention potential of operations by optimising physical space; utilising physical design to create an environment resistant to crime; operationalising the crime event through criminological theories such as rational choice, routine activities, crime pattern and life style exposure approaches and using crime analysis to control human behaviour in developing crime prevention efforts.
Outcomes include but are not limited to "hot spot" interventions where I designed problem-solving, data- driven models that combined street-level intelligence and trained officers to intervene in escalating community disputes and volatility.

I also increased the investigative and prosecutorial efficacies of the Homicide department and the Professional Standards Bureau.
Simultaneously, I pursued a strategy for improving police investigations, investigative and intelligence capabilities; decreasing impunity.

I also designed, developed and executed a reduction strategy that targeted active offenders through selective targeting.

My mandate is to provide safety, security, justice, quality of life and quality policing.
12 Business Skills Please provide details on specific experiences in which you have effectively managed an organization's financial, physical, and people resources and undertook strategic planning and marketing activities to drive or promote efficiency and success.
Applicant's Response: BUSINESS SKILLS As a certified accountant and certified fraud examiner, committed to accountability and transparency, my focus has always been on bringing a business model to crime fighting in Trinidad and Tobago; to provide maximum return on investment (ROI) for taxpayer dollars.
As I manage the financial, physical and people resources of the TTPS, as part of its executive leadership, I apply a cost-benefit analysis to initiatives and interventions to facilitate the decision-making process through evidence-based policies that effectively allocate the state's limited resources to increase safety, security and quality of life for the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago.

As an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), I'm quite experienced managing the resources of the police service.
In my current position, as ACP of Central, I'm not only responsible for Central division but also North-Eastern division.

I'm managing about 600 officers as well as financial and physical resources.

As ACP of Homicide, I managed over 300 officers as well as other resources.

As ACP of the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB), I managed over 200 officers, financial, physical resources and the integrity of the UPS.
As Senior Superintendent, in charge of Traffic and Highway Patrol, I managed over 350 officers and a variety of resources.

As a member of the executive leadership of the organisation, I'm responsible for participating in the design, development, and distillation of the strategic plan throughout the police service.
I've worked, continuously, to improve efficiency and effectiveness in handling finances and resources to meet public demand for police service and to ensure a best practices approach to service delivery.

In strategic planning sessions, I'm an advocate for high quality research on the cost of crime and the effectiveness of the police service to measure the social returns on the country's large public investment in policing.
Throughout my career in the police service and during my tenure as command leader of various police divisions, I have always adopted a rigorous and robust business model; using innovation to identify and disseminate financial management best practices; ensuring programmes and projects have been assessed using a SWOT analysis; and have SMART objectives (specific, measurable, attainable, reliable, and time-sensitive); and evaluation tools to assess effectiveness, proper planning and setting of priorities.
Equity, validity, reliability and utility have always been my watchwords, over the years, as I practice informed-decision making.

Gap analysis, pattern and trend analysis are critical to the work.

During my "gatekeeping role" as ACP of the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB), I implemented the standards and practices of best practice police auditing, from compliance to quality assurance, as I sought to re- engineering the direction of policing and reframe a new paradigm.
The time has come for crime control, in Trinidad and Tobago, to adopt a rigorous business model.

This requires the use of knowledge, information and innovation to identify and disseminate best practices for adoption throughout the police service.
I have tried to engage officers in the exploration process of how to design a strategic and cost-effective crime plan with specific and measurable objectives focused on the underlying challenges faced by law enforcement to reduce crime and increase solvency rates in Trinidad and Tobago.

Planning and setting priorities are critical to the process and must form part of a strategic approach to crime reduction.
Modern crime control policies must work simultaneously across multiple environment and contexts, overlapping with needs, issues and service providers.

Therefore, I try to provide the opportunity for officers to design inter-related crime plans; allocating expenditure to crime control initiatives with a clear indication of the likely return expected from the investment.
On the question of marketing activities, I have planned and participated in many of the marketing initiatives, over nearly three decades in the police service, from the community caravans to community events, from town halls and station meetings to public consultations with various chambers of commerce and international agencies and other organisations such as Crime Stoppers and various stakeholders including NGOs; community-based and faith-based.
